14 Dickinson Poems by Number

Emily Dickinson 艾蜜莉。狄金森（美國）  1830-1886

我最喜歡的一首是『1176』（We never know how high we are），曾出現在電影奔騰年代（Seabiscuit）中。下面視頻唸得不算好，電影中的表現比較好。

We never know how high we are till we are called to rise.

And then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies.

The heroism we recite would be a daily thing,

did not ourselves the cubits warp, for fear to be a king.
